It's top torque is something like 160ft-lb, but I doubt I'd use it for anything beyond the Porsche 120-130ft-lbs or whatever they are (I look it up every time). BMW, Audi/VW are all 90 to 100ft-lbs.

They highest I've used on a vehicle is 140Nm (105lb-ft) on the LR4 that has large lug nuts (22mm socket).
But the issue with those tools is that they tend to be short, like my original Craftsman. I like my tool's longer length because it's a piece of cake to generate that torque and also usually comfortably clears the wheel and body work.
